The protection cif the babies by the health authorities Is considered her special pbilanthiiipic Interest, and she has frequently .spoken In publio as well as writing to tlii- newspaiiers to advo¬ cate the rect)giiition of the Woman's Municipal purty in filling vacancies on the metropolitan borough councils in order to secure the appointment of trained women to take charge of the health of the biiliies. Eutertalumeuts for the pifrpose of bringing before the public the needs of the children of the poor have often enjoyed the advantage of appealing to fashionable purses at her house.
A war charity concert by the Beech- am orchestra, with a lecture on the Irish theater by Mr. Yeats, was a re¬ cent notable event at Sunderland House, followed a few days later by a lecture by Mr. .John Fortescue on "He¬ roes and Heroines of War."
In tbe iuterviil the duchess was one of the prominent flgures at the Christ¬ mas in wartime bazaar, held at Al¬ bert hall for the beneflt of the profes¬ sional classes and which was opened by Princess .\le.\ander of Teck.

Marysrllle.Cal.—Wanderers have been \ known to adopt various means of ob¬ taining a llveliboo<I and are kuown by various types, but a new variety has Just been discovered In this vicinity.
He is known as tbe "electric faooo." He is never without a hot meal when he can beg the Ingredients with which to cook, and he doesn't have to carry a match with him or worry about kin¬ dling a fire.
The Northern Electric company's third rail is his stove, or at least the source of his heat, tor he carries with him n patent stove. It constets of a folding iron plate, interlaced with copi)er wires. Wheu be gets hungry he un¬ folds it and makes a connection on the third rail, places the food on the stove and, when ready, oats to bis heart's content. Jackrabbits, vegeta- j bles, coffee and fiapjacks can be cook¬ ed on the electric grill.
C. B. Harter, a Sutter county ranch¬ er, says he saw the "electric hobo" at work cooking his breakfast tbe other morning. Among otber things he heat¬ ed ^ can of water on the *tove, took a rusty razor from one pocket, a cake of soap from another and a piece of mir¬ ror out of his coat lining and shaved.

"If the tree conies down." Mr. Ko- zeika said. "I'm going to have a con crete pier huilt to t.ike Its place. Tiii¬ is th(- Second time tills year nnd the sixth time lu five years it ims naved our home."
